Fevers symptoms and conditions

Was diagnosed with Lupus in 2003 and told by my Rheumatologist to get the Paraguard IUD for birth control. He said anything with hormones is off limits. So, I go to my OBGYN to get the copper iud and go on with my Lupus Life for 6 years which included severe joint pain in my fingers and shoulders, sun sensitivity, constant fevers of 105 degrees and infections that resulted in hospital stays and hair loss so bad that I had to wear wigs for 2 years, greenish discharge from my nipple, depression, severe fatigue and rashes. Well, I figured that if the Mirena was causing these same symptoms in women that maybe the Paraguard was too; so I made an appt to have it removed. Well, when my Gyno pulled it out, he freaked out because to EVERYONES SURPRISE, I WAS MISTAKENLY GIVEN THE MIRENA BACK IN 2003!!!!!!!!! SO, YES, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE MIRENA ABSOLUTELY CAUSES SEVERE PROBLEMS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN OUT OF ME FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND I FEEL PERFECT NOW!!!! My doctor's don't even think I have or ever had Lupus in the first place. They will retest me next month but they think I was diagnosed with Lupus too soon (after only one visit) then going right away to my quack Gyno and getting the Mirena instead of the Paraguard was what was causing all the problems. Will see soon what the bloodwork says but that Gyno who put the wrong device in me is going to pay for wrecking my life for the past 6 years!! My medical records even say he was supposed to insert the Paraguard. This experience has caused me to have zero trust in people because no one does their job right anymore. I could go on and on. . . Will take personal contacts if anyone wants to chat or vent about the poison that's inside of them. But, be ready for my response, GET IT TAKEN OUT NOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS. Remember back in the 80's when women were getting silicone breast implants and getting Lupus? It's the same thing with the Mirena, our bodies are rejecting it! Good luck and God Bless you all ~ Teecee007

I had my IUD inserted July 2008. First i began to have mood swings, depression, and weight gain. The symptoms were in the first month or two so i didn't realize that it was coming from the mirena. about the second month i began to get yeast infections every other week. i thought it was the soap or laundry detergent. i was in denial and over the last week i developed migraines that no pain pills will cure, body aches, fevers, chills an and nausea. I called an on call doctor and they told me to come in ASAP!!!! No kids for 5 years sounds tempting but it is uncomfortable and life threatening. i will never insert anything into my body unless i have done my research.

DRUG: CIPRO FOR UTI. NOV 08. FEMALE AGE 52.

STARTED ON CIPRO FOR UTI ON 11/15/08. I TOLD MY DOCTOR THAT CIPRO IS A EVIL ANTIBIOTIC. I STOPPED TAKING CIPRO ON 11/18/08 WHEN I WOKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE PAIN IN MY JOINTS AND THE RIPPING AND BURNING IN MY CALFS. I FINALLY GOT OUT OF BED AND COULD HARDLY WALK. I DISCOVERED THAT MY TOES, FINGERS, ELBOWS, BOTH KNEES WERE SEVERELY SWOLLEN. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED ALMOST ALL OF THE SIDE EFFECTS AS LISTED IN THE "PACKAGE INSERT" THAT CAME WITH CIPRO.

BEGINNING MY FIRST DOSE ON SAT. AFTERNOON (11/15) I THOUGHT I HAD THE FLU ALONG WITH THE UTI AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING MY FEVERS OF 102.9 WHICH I KEEP DOWN THRU IBUPROFIN. THE BLOATED STOMACH AND TENDERNESS WAS EXPLAINED FROM MY FRIEND WHO WORKS IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AS PROBABLY CAUSED FROM THE INGREDIENTS IN THE ANTIBIOTIC THAT DESTROY OUR OWN BODIES "NATURAL ENYSEMS"
I ALSO WAS CONSTIPATED FOR 4 DAYS. (I HAVE BEEN DAILY ALL MY LIFE). EXTREME FATIGUE KEPT ME EITHER ON THE COUCH OR IN BED, I NEVER SLEPT SO MUCH IN MY LIFE. I LOSSED ALL MY APPETITE, WAS DIZZY, AND VERY SICK OF BEING SICK. I ALSO HAD PERIODS WHERE I WOULD JUST START CRYING (ONE TIME I REMEMBER OVER THE DOG AND NOT WALKING IT) EMOTIONALLY, I WOULD BEST DESCRIBE MYSELF AS HAVING SEVERE MOOD SWINGS. ALSO HAD HEART PALPITATIONS. , SHORTNESS OF BREATH, ODD TASTE IN MOUTH WAS ANOTHER "EXPERIENCE" WHILE ON MY JOY RIDE WITH CIPRO.

TODAY IS SATURDAY, 1 WEEK LATER - ANTIBIOTIC FREE FOR 4 DAYS. I STILL HAVE EXTREME SWOLLEN JOINTS AND FIND IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE AROUND ALTHOUGHT ITS BETTER. TODAY I CAME DOWN IN THE BASEMENT TO LAUNDRY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE LAST SATURDAY. (I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY HOUSEHOLD CHORES ALL THIS TIME). RIGHT NOW, MY HIPS AND BUTT ARE SORE FROM SITTING - MAYBE BECAUSE LAST Night I WENT TO BED AT 7:00 pm AND WOKE UP AGAIN AT 6:00 AM OR IS IT BECAUSE OF THE SWOLLEN JOINTS SIDE EFFECT. I DO FEEL BETTER AND AM HOPEFUL THAT ALL OF MY ACHES AND PAINS WILL GO AWAY. I STILL AM NOT 100%, I STILL AM EXPERIENCING PERIODS OF WANTING TO PUKE, AND HEADACHES COME AND GO.

I WILL NEVER TAKE CIPRO AGAIN. WHAT I REALLY WOULD LIKE IS TO TAKE THE COMPANY DOWN THAT PRODUCES THIS DRUG. THIS DRUG SEEMS TO ATTACK A INDIVIDUALS "WEAK SPOTS" AND MAGNIFY THE SYMPTOMS. I AM PRAYING THAT ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE TEMPORARY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WEBSITE AND BLESS EACH ONE US WHO HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF THE EVIL ANTIBIOTIC "CIPRO".

I wrote into this forum on February , 2008 about my son who was taking Advair hfa 115/21 . On Thursday, February 14, 2008 I called his asthma allergist in Forth Worth, Texas after reading all the side effects here and seeing similar and more symptoms in my son with the use of Advair .Needless to say, I talked with my sons asthma doctor that day for at least 40 minutes and told him I was not comfortable with the Advair and told him that my son was having such bad tremors all over his body at night that he was shaking uncontrollably in his sleep and I also told him that my son was having such bad fevers and was super hyper and was very irritable after his medicine( Advair) . The doctor convinced me that this was not from the Advair and continued to tell me that he was convinced the medicine was safe. I was not after my son experienced these symptoms. Well, after talking with my sons doctor, I told him I wanted my son to be put on Asmanex twisthaler. He finally called in the prescription to my pharmacist here in town , but it was hard to convince him the medicine isn't good for anyone especially for all the bad and terrible symptoms that accompany the medicine. The doctor said I could switch my son right over to the Asmanex from the Advair . The pharmacist had to order the medicine cause they didn't have it . I didn't give my son his Advair in the following morning cause I was switching him over to Asmanex . Anyhow, to make a long story short, I took my son to the doctors in the morning without having given hin his Advair and let me tell you what happened. It was like watching someone coming off of a bad drug addiction. He was uncontrollably hyper and more irritable than before and he couldn't sit still for a second and my son is normally a calm and well-behaved child. We took him to the store and he was screaming at me and my husband like he couldnt control his emotions and he was really really really angry for on reason at all like hitting angry and I really was so surprised he was acting this way . I knew it was the downside from Advair cause my son has never acted like this ever before . When we got home , about 8 o clock that evening I gave him his new prescription of Asmanex 220 mcg twisthaler and in one hour he was calm. his breathing had returned to normal, and in two hours he was in bed sleeping so deep and peaceful with no tremors at all, no muscle spasms , no rapid heart beats , no skipped heart beats. I believe this is the first night in four weeks that my son has slept so well without having his whole body shake. I am so glad I did the research I needed to save my son from all the horrible symptoms on Advair the doctors refuse to admit to . I had stayed up all night researching many many many pages on the internet for safe medicines for my son . And at 4:30 am I went to bed after I had found out bout Asmanex and was assured I was finally doing something I knew was good for my son in order for him to fell better and to be safe . While in my search, I came across a website which I would love to share here about a natural medicine I will be adding to my sons asthma treatment to also try and alleviate asthma symptoms as best as possible.***
While researching the internet I also read about new asthma drugs approved by the FDA for kids ages 4- 11 and found out that Asmanex is trying to get regulated for children in a dosage for 110 mcg to come out later in the month of February this year, 2008. My son is finally sleeping all night for a change and breathing so so so well . yeah!!!!!!!!!

I have been using Advair 250/50 for about 4 or 5 months to control my exercise induced asthma primarily when cycling on my 50-60 mile rides. So far I am pretty happy with how it is working, although I have noted that others have had initial success only to have some serious problems later on. My only complaint is the hoarseness, coughing and dry throat it gives me. I now have that somewhat under control with some aggressive cleaning of my mouth with water after I take a dose. I swallow some water and swish it around my mouth very aggressively, spit it out and then make sure I drink 4 or 5 gulps of water to clean my throat with the emphasis on gulp. Now the hoarseness and coughing is relatively minor. I also take two puffs of Albuterol about 20 minutes before riding. This is pretty standard for those that do vigorous prolonged exercise.

I had a fever of 100+ degrees for 7 days and went in to the ER to see what was going on with my body. Anyway they said I must be getting over a virus and that they usually last about a week or so. On the 14th day of continual fevers I went to see my doctor as I was getting angry with not knowing what was wrong with me. Blood work was done and I was put on 750 mg of Levaquin for 7 days in the event I had a bacterial infection. My temps spiked to 104.1 and again I went to the ER and had more blood work done. On day 21 my fevers reduced and I had more blood work done. Apparently I had CMV a virus that 80% of the population has or had. Needless to say I have been off the Levaquin for a couple weeks now. I have pain in my right arm the entire length of my arm between the elbow and shoulder and if I extend my arm the wrong way the pain is so bad that I cannot breath and almost throw up. The pain is a true 10 out of 10 and I am beginning to feel soreness in my thighs. I will be contacting my doctor tomorrow morning as the pain will not go away as I was hoping it would. This is bad.

Singulair is bad!! I have posted this before in October but just noticed the posting is no longer there??? My son is 4 and had horrible side effects. He has been medically cleared by 3 different physicians and everything leads back to the Singulair. We have a happy loving home, no stress than normal everyday stuff. He does great in his catholic school setting. He literally was as almost as a picture perfect kid as you could get. He was only on Singulair. About 2 months ago things started to happen. Unexplained fevers of always 102 or higher, severe headaches, seeing colors, joint and leg pain, stomach aches, sleep walking, night terrors, bad nail biting habit, depression, extremely emotional, chronic sinus infections, poor appetite, and weight loss. He just simply looked lethargic all the time. He missed school, fun activities and simply started to loose interest in things. I too knew something was wrong. The pediatrician thought I was too a hypochondriac. Then one night he had an emotional break down. He said things no 4 year old should ever think let alone say. Like he wanted to hurt us with knifes, he didn't love anyone, he hated Jesus. All along while crying because he did not understand why he felt this way. He wanted to die he said! I was so devastated. His teacher and our family could not believe the night and day difference in him. He was so happy and such a nurturing child to others. Now he simply had no emotion. You could look right through him. So after several doctors and psychiatrist they have concurred that the Singulair has thrown his Serotonin off. So he now has this chemical imbalance that we are working through with a psychiatrist who our insurance does not cover but is the best. All the other physical symptoms have subsided, he eats like a horse now, and no more nail biting, headaches or fevers. HMM coincidence... I think not!!! I have tried very hard to get the word out. I have had so much response just via private email that my friends have forwarded and so on. This is not isolated incidences. We are just the lucky ones to have discovered this website. Imagine those kids and adults that are still suffering. I work on an ambulance and i can tell you we had a 4 year old boy have a seizure out of the blue with no recent illness or history. Guess what med he was one??? Write every health official, contact the FDA, attorney general. Seriously this is the only way things will change!!

Folks seriously this drug is bad news. Yes it worked great for my son's asthma. We thought it was a wonder drug. Then things changed. My son had horrible side effects to this also. It took us 5 months to link it to the meds. I realized after reading this website and all the blogs from other parents. My son is 4 years old and had the following symptoms: Weight loss, poor appetite, muscle and joint pain, headaches, unexplained fevers, complained of seeing colors, blue under the eyes, severe stomach cramps and horrible horrible thoughts no 4 year old should ever experience in their mind. I did not even know who my child was that is how scary it was. This is such a dangerous drug. I have talked to several other parents who this has happened too including having seizures out of the blue with no history. I work in the medical field and it seems only a few docs are recognizing this. I have seen this in other kids. This drug may be great for others and yes there are side effects to every medication. However I do not think all these children are having the same side effects. Do you?? SERIOUSLY TAKE YOUR KIDS OFF THIS TERRIBLE DRUG, REPORT IT TO THE FDA!!!

I am 17, soon to be 18, and have suffered from this horrible pain over my right ovary (basic area) for near 5 years now. I have missed my whole high school years, ended up being home schooled from the pain and graduating early. I FINALLY have a job that I love, but I'm afraid I won't be able to last. I go in to work with pain, get fevers because of either the pain or inflammation. I have had 2 laps, the first one showed nothing (I also, in 8th grade when all this started, had a 5.5cm cyst on my right ovary), the second showed endo on my right ovarian ligament. I have tired almost every birth control out there, and all they do is make me 10 times worse (odd, but true). Now this new doc wants me on Lupron. After all I have read, I'm scared to take it. I'm supposed to take it Friday. The bad thing is, I already have an auto immune glitch (we believe, every problem I have is linked to auto immune), I don't want to be worse. Recently I was on DEPO, which is horrible (seriously, don't take it you gain so much weight and it is so hard to get off, you bleed for like a month or more after you stop... it's awful). Every time I get this pain I bleed 10 min later, badly. I just want this gone, but I don't want any other problems too occur. If anyone has any links that specifically list the side effects of lupron or anything else that might help me, I would love it.

My husband was just hospitalized for what we think are Levaquin side effects. He took it for a groin infection and got swollen ankles and stopped taking it. He has had fevers, night sweats, chilling, severe joint pain, swollen ankles and knees, to the point he is incapcitated. He was previously very healthy at 51 yrs. until this drug!

Signulair has made me feel like I am having menopause (I'm only 32)--hot flashes; fevers that come and go; complete exhaustion. I didn't know what it was at first--and then the sleeplessness and nightmares hit--dreams that were graphically disturbing, that made me sad all the next day. This is a powerful drug, and I highly, highly recommend AGAINST taking it.

I'm definitely glad I found this website. I've been taking doxy 100 2x a day for epididimytis. I thought I was the only one going through this. I felt my symptoms were not being experienced by others. I have been freaking out thinking I might have something more severe, but it might just be side effects.

I've been experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of hunger, fevers/night sweats, losing focus, light sensitive, itchy legs, dry throat, pains in abdomen, insomnia, depression, crying episodes, disinterested, paranoia, and suicidal at times.

I never knew a drug like this can have such terrible side effects. I fear going to bed every night because of what goes through my head. Finding this site will bring me some peace for what I'm going through.

I had started taking Lamasil for toe nail fungus infection for about 20 days. I came down with fevers, chills and sweats about 20 days into 30 day doseage. My doctor prescribed Levaquinn for the fevers. I had a blood test and found my liver was very effected by the Lamasil. I was to take about 8 day of Levaquinn which I did. After 4 days of the Levaquinn my fever was gone but muscle pain developed for which I took Ibuprofen even after the levaquinn ran out. The pain became excrutiating. My calves felt as if they had been kicked and charle horsed. My shoulders felt as if they had drills drilling into the scapulas, My blood vessles felt as if they had gasoline running through them. My right hip started to get a deadened spot on top of the front of my hip joint, Pain flashed at various spots as if stuck with a knife. about two days fter stopping the Levaquinn, I had a period of three nights I could not sleep or lay down the pain was so great. Three weeks after stopping Levaquinn I am still in pain. My hip joint feels like it is being stabed by 40 Ice pics at time, it is sensitive to pressure and quick movement, my calves are still sore and make it hard to walk at times. Over the period I was tested for hepatitus A, B, C, HIV Lyme disease, Shingles Herpes, had Cat scans of my head and Abdomen, I developed Bells Palsy on my left face. After 7 weeks of pure hell and none of my local doctors culd think of any more test to give me, I went to a Nurologist on my own at the Lahey Clinic who identified the culprit the Levequinn. He tells me the pain will eventually go away in 1 to 3 months it has gotten more bearable after the many weeks but I still take Celebrex to sleep. No one thought to read the contra indications including me, least of all my doctors-except the last one at Lahey Clinic. Two medications suposed to cure damn near did me in!
Stay far away from this stuff unless you are dying- or want to.

I was using it for acne. I'd been on it about two weeks when I started having sudden high fever and extreme lethary. (Like if I didn't lay down, I'd fall down). I'd hit the bed for several hours, and wake up feeling improved. Then I'd go through the same thing later that night; fever back up and horrific fatigue. I kept thinking I was coming down with something and even remarked that I was glad I was "already on an antibiotic." Then realized my fevers were shortly after my dose. Nurse said "no, that wouldn't do it. I took one more dose to "see" and in addition to the fever going up, that time my lips swelled and itched. Spoke with the Dr. and he said NEVER to use a sulfa med again, as the next reaction could be quite dangerous.

Unfortunately the rudeness from the responses are probably another side effect from the prednisone. I have been on for 3 months now, up to 40 mg a day and I have body aches, feels like my bones are brittle and will break if I stand up. I have blurred vision and fevers the whole nine yards. My doctor is so hard to get in to see and when I tell the nurse she says" oh thats not due to the prednisone". Yeah right. It is a bad drug. I have Chrones and have requested Remicade , which is an alternative drug which I know people that are on it and have done very well. But to my first point there are alot of side effects due to drug and the moodiness is very apparent here. If you want to vent go elsewhere .

I've been taking lisinopril since 10/05/05.
My side effects are as follows......severe migraines......fevers......extreme fatigue.......blurred vision.......diarrhea.......an annoying cough that lasts all day......insomnia at night....sweating

I have been taking Zocor for about one year, I have had both of my knees replaced.Suddenly I began to get body aches, fevers of 101 and above,during these episodes I could barly walk. I thought my knees were falling apart. I told my physician about this and without hesitating he told me to stop taking the Zocor. Why did they approve this medication??

dry eyes, cough, fever, tired, achey, joint pain, head pain, head and neck sweating at night, thought it was menopause but have had increasing upper respertory problems last 7 months, unexplained fevers sore throats, been on it four about four years, i am 47 feel 77 from all the problems from it. does anyone know if the side effects will go away once you stop? i have heard they will.

I started taking Lipitor at the advice of my physcician even though I had just lowered my high cholesterol to normal levels by diet alone. Go figure. He said that new studies show that people with diebetis should take it because they have an increased chance of having a heart attack. I have diabetis but is controled by diet. So I reluctantly started taking it. I took 10 mg. At first, within a week I developed a fever I could not explain. Although my doctor said that Lipitor doesn't cause fevers, the warning on the package of the prescription said to stop taking it and consult your doctor if you develop a fever after taking. Mine was getting up to 102 degrees for about 4 or five days. I quit taking Lipitor and my fevers stopped. He accused me of "non-compliance" and told me to start taking them at bedtime instead of daytime. I thought I'd try again. No fevers but, I developed a severe neck pain on the left side that felt like a tight band or chord from under my chin, where the glands are, and it progressively over a few days moved down to my underarm. It would start every morning as soon as I awoke. It felt like any small movement really strained my muscles on that side of my neck. Then around the same time, I developed a pain in my knee. I thought I was just uncomfortable from our van and not having enough room, but I never had the pain before taking Lipitor. I also at the time, developed an excruciating and dibilitating pain in my right arm. It got so severe that I could not even lift a piece of paper without it hurting. I'd fell a sensation of burning as well as muscle weakness and pain whenever I moved it just slightly. I didn't even imagine it was all from Lipitor. My salvation was that I had forgotten to take it for about 3 nights in a row and to my surprise, I stopped experiencing the pain I was having with my neck, my knee and my arm! Then I decided to see if I could find out if there were any dangers to taking Lipitor before I started taking it again, and I found this site and read all the testimonials. I am convinced now that Lipitor was causing my fevers, my pain and is a very dangerous drug. I WILL NOT take it ever again. Thanks to this site, we are all warned. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou all for sharing your stories. And thanks to the creators of this site for giving so many people the answers that will litterally save lives and change us all for the better.

I have been taking Singulair for about 6 months.
Every month when I get my period, I get flu-like symptoms.
I wake up in the middle of the night with fevers and I constantly fell tired. Also, My joints hurt constantly. I've had about 10 sore throats, dizziness, and two ear infections!
Does anyone have anything better than this nasty drug???

rash on face and neck, dizzy, chesty, flu like feeling, slight fevers, sore eyes and headaches, body pains, sore lower back

been taking for 8 days now. from the beginning, EXTREME nausea, stomach pain, after 4 days, ringing in ear. nonstop headache from the beginning. also lots of salivating and loss of appetite.

each day, i feel more and more tired, while the infection itself seems to be clearing (based on no more fevers or burning sensation where the infection was).

i hate this drug but fear to stop taking it because the pain of infection and with fever, the infection can spread. I'm going to finish all the way to the 14-day prescription and then take extra care to heal from the antiobiotic. If I wasn't worried about infection spreading - I'd NEVER take this drug.

I am om my fifth zometa treatment.The first one,day 1,was
very scary...could not move hands and fingers post 12 hrs.
receiving zometa.fevers/chills for one day with generalized body malaise and anthralgias.This time,I thought these so
called transient muscular pains which are becoming so annoying especially when you're a nurse yourself trying to help sick people get out of bed and realizing you can't help
them due to aching bones and wrists...the books say all these
are temporary...but as I go every month,these symptoms are
increasingly getting worse...I begin to wonder if this is the
sign of the disease progressing or just the side and adverse
reactions of the zometa.......

January 8, 2004

I was diagnosed with lupus from 1999, from then I was put on Prednisone. First from 5mg now to 20mg a day. I have experienced many side effects such as Moon Face, wieght gain, sweats, swelling of the belly and fevers. Sometimes I feel as if there has to be another way. I am now resorting to natural remedies i'll see how that goes.

I started to feel much better 3 hrs after I started taking 30mg of prednisone. I have had fevers, horrible body aches and an ugly purple, blistery rash on my hands and knees. I do however have the bloating and gastric distension also. I am trying to keep exercising and eat fruit and vegetables. The gastric distress is nothing compared to what I had had over the last year.
